I should have added a disclaimer: Results may vary*
If you have all the ports, (level 44) and succor (level 57), are attentive, don't make people wait, and are paying attention to chat (specifically /ooc), 1k an hour is, yes, average.
The last time I sat down to port last week, I did it for around 2 hours. I remember this specifically because I made zero trips to Misty bank to unload until I was done. I came back with around 1.6k. That's 800pp an hour. Sure, it's not 1k, but it is close.

My apologies Tuluven: I wasn't trying to pick on you, it was more of a rant against the idea that's been repeated by many other DAP folks here in the forums that 1k an hour is average. I think there's a natural human tendency to "round up" which leads to this, but when people get objective/realistic (like you just did with the 800p data point) it turns out the average isn't 1k. Though even then the amount seems to vary (eg. Moerne's 500 vs. your 800).
Maybe the "true number" (and event that's going to vary by playtime) is closer to 1k than Moerne's 500/hour. /shrug I honestly don't know. I just know that an average of 1k an hour does
not match my experiences porting (admittedly outside of DAP), and until an honest and objective poter decides to keep detailed records for several weeks of "business" we'll never really know for sure.
